Another Logic Loops persona song ... this one searching for the voice of wisdom hidden beneath all we get wrong ...
lyrics
Faithless Land – Christine Collister August 2010
I listen for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
I try to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
Plucked from the heart of innocent love
A rag doll to a child
Tactile, sensitive, trampled in mud
Strung out high and wild – when I
listen for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
I try to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
Tightly, twisted torn to the nerve
Like a demon without prey
Little by little I came to serve
Darkness was my day … till I
listened for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
And tried to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says that I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
I'm listening,
My heart can bend
Like a willow tree
Tell me what do you need
I listen for her voice
And now I understand
I make the only choice
I have faith in a faithless land X 3
Faithless land I have faith
In a Faithless land X 3
I have faith, I have faith, I have faith in me
Meet Christine ...

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
